' JHSLfiI ? r 4 Lv a *i wilfep" IB BY ALLBNE SUMNER NEA Service Writer Dayton, Tran., July IX.—Business isn’t as good as usual in the little general clothing store which Jim Darwin has run for some 35 years in Dayton, Tennessee. There's ajk-ason! Home folHWvho heard about the Dar winian theory that started all the "mon key business - ’ in Dayton, got the notion that Jim Darwin was the man who did it.- A couple of lank mountaineers, who had been coming down into- the yallw.to of Jim every summer, stopped it this year! None of their money should go to a man who said they 'Spcong from luonjfeys, no siree! It’s in tile Blood. And even the folks who know that Jim Darwin and Charles Darw : u are not one and the same, arc a bit leary of Jim’s store—for “this evolution business” is in the blood! Jim Darwin admits a bit hesitatingly that he’s an evolutionist! It’s a brave thing to say in fundamentalist Dayton. But blood is thicker than water, and "a man must stand by his kin folks,” says Darwin.

Dayton, the scene of the celebrated evolution trial, is the very spot where the <|yscemlants of Char les Darwin, the great - .scientist and pro ponent of evolution, canke ■to settle in America. Jim Darwin’s great-great-grandfather was a brother of Charles Darwin. He Founded Town. It was years and years ago that James Darwin, grand-father of Dayton’s merch ant, came to Rhea county from Virginia. Here Cnpt. W. I’. Darwin, father of the merchant, was born . When he was a father of sons he mov ed to a spot ! n Rhea county, about six miles from Dayton, fettled there, and called the town Darwin Bjhstion. For years this descendant of the great scientist tilled the land here, managed his general store, and Darwins settled the town as a regular family affair.' ; The Southern Railroad passed through Darwin Station. There were numerous wrecks. Dispatchers confused Darwin' and Dayton; The government said that the name of the town must be changed. It bee-rime Evansville. But today* this little town outside of Dayton is almost completely settled by was not .found she went free, but the pickpocket, with evidence of her guilt, was waiting for her and induced her to be his confederate. The girl’s training in thieving Is told thus vividly in August Smart Set: , “Ip the next few weeks he taught me all the tricks of his trade. \ soon got so that I could take things from his pocket without his even knowing. “We spent days in the subways together, while he taught me how to work, how to judge my victim, how to approach him, how to nip him, and then how to make my getaway. “Then he taught me how to work the stores, part of the time with a little girl, who was the daughter of a friend of Jimmie’s. The little girl Martha, would go in with me. Then she would go down the counter aboct half way and do cute childish pranks to divert the at tention of the salesgirls and detec tives, while I would steal what I wanted, reasonably sure that I was not seen. Then we would make our way out of thf' store with Jimmie following close behind, keeping a keen lookout. “Jimmie instructed me minutely in the course I was to take in case I was caught. He schooled me in the business systems followed in the big shops so that I could pick out the easier spots as I worked. But he laid the greatest emphasis of all on the matter of keeping him concealed in case I was caught, saying that my whole chance for getting away would be in his being free to work for me. “Most of the girls who stole for men used dope, and all of them had been taught by the men the art of thieving. Somh of the people worked in ‘mobs’ that embraced the molls, their lookouts and spot ters. The mob included the grifters, the chiefs, and the ‘fences.’ or disposers of the things they stole. Every ‘mob’ had one or two ch%lren who worked with them, who were taught their part in regular schools of shoplifting and burglary.

The Evansville and Dayton Darwins are tile few people in the country who have rend "The Origin of Species” and "The Descent of Mail” by Charles Dar win. But they say little about it. It’s risky. “I'm an evolutionist of a sort.” says Jiin Darwin. “And Darwin himself nev er said that man exactly came from mon keys. Folks just don't understand.” There's ap split,,in ,tbc family of Dar wins. In spite of the, thickness of blood, many of the brothers and sisters of Jim Darwin declare their hundred per cent, fundamentalism, and denonce even Dar winian evolution. But Jim Darwin’s own family stay by tile illustrious kinsman. ”1 never read his book,” said Margar et Darwin Waiters, daughter of Jim Dar win. “But I know he must have been right.” Jim Darrin doesn’t “figure on” at tending the Scopes evolution trial.

Hor revelations in August Smart Set give the public an amazing in sight into the “underground” route from China to America. miraS ifir~b FIRST AT STONE MOUNTAIN AS AT BETHEL. Raleigh News and Observer. It was heartening and cheering to ev- I ery Southerner to hear the story by Gut- 1 zon Borglum to the North Carolina Gen- ■ eral Assembly about the interest shown by such mor. as President Harding. I’res ident Coolidge, Senator Smoot. Senator Ixidge and other eminent Republicans in | reference to the memorial coin soon to be j offered. It was proof of two things: First, that the name of Lee is so reve-.-ed ah to bring tributes from meu of ability | fr rn all inrts of the country, and, sec ond. Lint these eminent Republicans of the North could not be nfluenced by any I belated feeling of sectionalism. I It is an epoch-making event that the ; I Federal government Ims minted coins i honoring the heroes of tire Confederate States of America, It is almost as sig nificant as the reuniting of the partisans of the War of the Rosts. It foreshadows the day when American history will hon or all brave Americans of the slxtes without reference to whether they fought in the Federal or thewkmi(-derate arm ies. That day is mStcfially hastened bjr the order of the government to mint the coin for the beautifuPflosign by Gutzon Borglum . The whole South deeply regretted the serious differences between Mr. Randolph and Mr. Borglum over the Stone Moun tain Memorial. Each had his partisans. This paper regretted the friction and the consequent result. It bel'eved away should have been found by which to en able Mr. Borglum to complete his mas terly conception to which he had given so much time and so much heart interest. But—men and bretlireu—tire contro versy should not be permitted to stand in tire way of the immediate carrying out of the policy adopted with reference to the memorial coin. The bankers over the South, with a spirit beyond all praise, have undertaken to carry (Hit the plan. jCoiiim'ttees have been named. The coin iis ready for distribution. The opportun ity for every person in America to i*os sess one of the coins bearing the image of Lee and Jackson is at hand. This is not primarily a Southern move ment. Men and women in all sections of the country nre interested and will par ticipate, but the Southern people have a peculiar interest in the men whose-deeds are commemorated and in the comple tion of the monumental memorial! It, therefore, behooves the people of the South to take the lead in the matter. The day will come when these fifty-cent Lee and Jnckson coins- will be preserved and handed down from generation to genera tion nS something rar(‘ and beautiful. The number is limited and no more will be minted. The coin minted in com memoration of the World's Fair at Chi cago is now so highly prized that tiic holders will not part with them at any reasonable price. These memorials of Lee and Jackson will have even a great er sentimental to all Southern ers and in a quarter of a century all will be so highly prized that none will be in circulation. People of other sections will purchase these rains and pay one dollar and more for the fifty-eent coin. Men and women of the South will do likewise and will also do more. They feel a peculiar obligation and responsibility for the success of the undertaking. It Is the first time such recognition has been given by the govern ment to the leaders of the South in the sixties. If the South should fail to pur chase the coin, and the enterprise should lag for nny reason, it would be misunder stood all over the country. Therefore, every Southerner should be proud of the privilege of insuring the success of the proper distribution of the rain. As far as Nortli Carolina is concerned, though, perhaps, most of its people were partisans of Gutzon Borglum and regret the. turn affairs took. If should do what it has always done —be first in the sup|>ort of the distribution of these Stone Moun tain coins ns it was firHt at Bethel. More soldiers served ill the Confederacy from North Carolina than then - were vot ers in the State in 1860. That record and the courage they displayed caused Lee to say: "God bless North Carolin ians.” The State mobilize to carry the Stone Mountain - Memorial campaign over tile top. It is au appeal that should be an swered with enthusiasm. Keeping the Hair at Its Best. During the summer months the pre vailing cry from the possessors of both long and bobbed hair, is, “What shall I do for my oily hair?” The usual cause of oily hair is too great activity of the oil glands, or torpidity of the muscles and glands of the face or scalp, preventing the oil glands from holding the oil in reserve. Primarily, the trouble is induced by a low general physical condition, in which case the remedy lies in the general toning up of the entitre system. External ap plications are of little avail unless the system is functioning normally. An excellent daily stimulant, and one which is most efficacious in remedying oily hair, is to dip (he fingers in cold water and manipulate the scalp with the finger tips; then raise the bait from- the head and shake it lightly. This will invigorate the scalp and stimulate and tone the hair roots. There nre tonics prepared especially for oily liair which gradually regulate the glands until the oil flow becomes normal. Consistent use of a tonic is often necessary. Service Not For Punishment. The Pathfinder. Once in a while a magistrate will agree to suspend sentence on a likely young man if the latter promises to enlist in the army or navy. But these two branches of service are constantly pro testing. Recently cases of this nature came to the attention of the- Dayton and Fort Wayne naval recruiting offices. A "Mont gomery county, Ohio, boy, under sentence for felony, was offered “his freedom by the court if he enlisted. But he will have to go to the reformatory because the navy department reaffirmed its stand that "men in the toils of the Jaw arc unde sirable to the service.’’ The judge in the other case was likewise told that “the navy Is not a place of refuge nOr a train ing school for law offenders.” Holsboußer~~Not to Join New York.
